avocado list --filter-by-tags broken on version >= 106

[hjelmeland]

Describe the bug
avocado list --filter-by-tags list all tests in directory, no matter what tag expression is used.

Last good version: 105

System information:

• OS:Ubuntu 22.04.3
• Avocado version: 108
• Avocado installation method: pip3

Hi @hjelmeland, thank you for opening this issue. Can you please provide some example with wrong behaviour? It will help me to reproduce this issue. Thank you very much.

[hjelmeland]

Create test.py:

from avocado import Test

class filterByTags(Test):
    def test_filterByTags(self):
        pass

Then do avocado list -t sometag test.py

With avocado 105 no test is listed, as expected.

With avocado >= 106 the test is listed, not as expected.

Adding a tag like """:avocado: tags=disabled""" to the test makes no difference on avocado >= 106.

for the test I ran ubuntu 22:04 docker container and did

pip install --force-reinstall avocado-framework==105
pip install --force-reinstall avocado-framework==106

Hi @hjelmeland, thank you very much for the reproducer. I was able to reproduce it.

It looks like that it is located only to the list plugin, because the overall tag filtering works well. Also when I use the --verbose option the results are still wrong, but the test summary is correct.
